"Madam President, human trafficking is the scourge of our times. This form of slavery is inhuman and violates human rights in every way. It is also a very profitable business, along with arms and drug trafficking.
Sinai is a major route from the extreme poverty and deprivation of sub-Saharan Africa towards Israel and other countries in the Middle East. Human trafficking is rife along this route, and human life has no value for the traffickers in their quest for profit. With support from the EU, the countries in the region must together try to stop the traffickers and the networks of organised crime that they use.
Victims of human trafficking must be treated humanely. They should not be returned to countries where a renewed risk of torture and ill-treatment awaits them. The fate of human beings in Sinai is often linked to the same root cause: wretched conditions in the place which they set out from, extreme poverty and a lack of opportunities. Given all this, even a precarious escape to the affluence of the north is better than life back home. The European Union must take steps to do everything it can to contribute to eradicating poverty, wherever it occurs."@en1
